The HTML parameter "break-inside: avoid;" does not work in iPad Firefox. It does work in the PC version of Firefox. Run https://www.scottcrosby.info/external-test.html in both to compare.

Attached file external-test.html

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:137.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/137.0
Firefox for Android

Steps to reproduce:

I tried running my HTML www.scottcrosby.info/external-test.html on both PC Firefox and on iPad Firefox. That file has numerous instances of the code <DIV class="green-colored" align="center" style="break-inside: avoid; [...]. When that html file runs on iPad Firefox, the break to the next column does not adhere to the "break-inside: avoid" logic, but simply divides the total displayed text evenly among the five columns.

Actual results:

iPad Firefox displayed the full set of text evenly-divided among the 5 columns. iPad Firefox breaks apart a group of text intended to be displayed together into separate pieces, part appearing in the current column and the remaining part appearing in the following column. The HTML code "break-inside: avoid;" does not work on iPad Firefox (it does work as desired on PC Firefox).

Expected results:

Information text is displayed together (as it does on the PC).

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Core::DOM: Core & HTML' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please correct in case you think the bot is wrong.

Hi Scott,

what behavior do you see on Safari on the iPad? Firefox on iOS / iPadOS uses the WebKit browser engine instead of Gecko. Therefore I assume that Safari shows the same behavior (and Apple would be the party that needs to fix this).

Confirmed: Safari shows the same bug.

I am just a standalone developer. Looking at Apple's problem-reporting, it looks like I have to be a developer in some kind of group. Do you know if there is a simple way for me to report this bug to Apple? Thanks!

You should be able to file a bug in WebKit's public Bugzilla.
